Country #80 : Radio Congo, 6115 KHz
What a catch! Radio Congo, Congo on 6115 KHz. January 16, 2014. From around 16:40 - 18:24 UTC. Male speaker, interview and commentary. Very long, and very monotone speech. Noisy, but steady carrier, S6. Best around 17:20 then progressively worse. No music or time signals. Odd air at 18:24. This is my country #80 !

Country #79: Yemen Radio, Sana'a 6135 KHz
6135 Yemen Radio, Sana'a, Yemen. In Arabic, audible form 14:06 UTC to closing down, at 15:02 UTC. The last two minutes under Voice of America from Thailand. Male and female speakers, until 14:25 then a music / vocal. Second half of the program containing mostly what sounded like a religious segment, perhaps Koran reading. Overall, the signal was weak and noisy, as one would expect in the middle of Australian summer. [Country #79]
